Chapter 272: Congratulations to the Emperor? Anger
The drug takes effect very quickly.
About half an incense stick of time passed, and the man lying under the bright yellow quilt opened his eyes.
Li Yuzong fell to the ground in front of the dragon bed, with a sad face and tears in his eyes, saying: "Your Majesty, you finally woke up! This old servant has been waiting so hard..."
Emperor Wu Su glanced sharply at the noisy old servant.
Duan Mingfeng quickly pulled Li Yuzong away.
Emperor Wu Su sat up, spread his palms, and tried to circulate the internal energy in his body. There was a loss, but it was not stagnant.
This action involved the wound on his chest. His eyes fell on his left chest and his brows furrowed slightly.
But it was not because of the pain, but because the bandage on his chest was tied into a delicate love knot, and the herbal bitter smell beside the white cloth was very strong, and I didn't know what medicine was applied.
Emperor Wu Su had not spoken for several days and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Who did it?"
Several people looked towards where the emperor's gaze rested.
When Emperor Wu Su woke up, he did not ask about the situation of the previous dynasty and Xi Jin, but instead became concerned about this knot first.
But Duan Mingfeng and Lu Juan were not in the imperial presence yesterday, so no one knew who had done this.
Li Yuzong was very clear about it. He pushed Duan Mingfeng aside, took a few steps forward, cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, this is from Miss Ji Wu."
Emperor Wu Su glanced across the hall and asked, "Where is she?"
When I think about where Ji Qingwu is at this moment and what he might be doing.
Li Yuzong retreated again, hunched his shoulders, trying to hide himself behind Duan Mingfeng.
Seeing the emperor's unhappy expression, they knew that now was not the time to talk about this matter. First, state affairs come first, and second, they are afraid of irritating the emperor again. In case the sequelae mentioned by Le Xi are triggered, it will damage the emperor's body.
Lu Juan spoke first: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan has something to report to you."
Duan Mingfeng, who was pushed out, insisted on his tough character and said, "Master, the assassins Xi Jin sent to the Emperor's Temple have been eliminated and no one is left alive."
"On the afternoon of the day we returned from the ancestral worship, a small group of assassins appeared in the palace. Their target was Young Prince Yuan Heng, but they were stopped by Miss Ji and General Wei."
Lu Juan glanced at Duan Mingfeng.
This idiot who practices martial arts, don't mention Ji Qingwu anymore at this time.
Duan Mingfeng continued, "General Wei deliberately tricked the Fourth Prince Xijin into escaping and sent people to track him down, and found out where he was hiding."
"Everyone in the court has heard about your serious injury. Last night, the secret agents in the court sent someone to contact Yuwen Tianqing."
Emperor Wu Su nodded, Wei Ting was doing his job safely and nothing serious happened.
After he sat up, his movements were fine, but his face was still visibly pale.
Emperor Wu Su raised his eyes, with a cold knife in his eyes, and asked again the question they avoided.
"Where is she?"
Lu Juan first cleared himself and said, "The last time I saw Fifth Sister was when you were unconscious and returned to the palace after being assassinated. Fifth Sister was waiting at the palace gate. Today, I was busy looking for Le Xi and was not in the palace. I have not seen you since then."
Hearing that Ji Qingwu was waiting for him at the palace gate to return to the palace, Emperor Wu Su frowned even more and shifted his gaze to the person next to him.
Li Yuzong patted his head and said, "I remember that Miss Ji was guarding you last night. I don't know where Miss Ji went today."
Emperor Wu Su raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.
The last person to speak was Duan Mingfeng. Now everyone could see that the emperor was in a very bad mood.
He was under a lot of pressure, but he still said honestly: "This morning, I saw Miss Ji. She left Zhaoyang Palace with a bag on her back."
Duan Mingfeng said with a gaze that seemed to penetrate his forehead, "I didn't ask Miss Ji where she was going, but Miss Ji said...she said..."
Emperor Wu Su continued the conversation with an expressionless face.
"She said she would never come again."
Duan Mingfeng looked up in surprise, and then nodded.
Everyone saw that the emperor's face was filled with gloom, as if a storm was about to come.
Emperor Wu Su believed that he understood Ji Qingwu's timid and life-threatening nature.
He was injured and unconscious, and he could foresee what kind of chaos would occur in the palace. He had always hoped that Ji Qingwu would not be involved, but now it seemed impossible for her not to be involved.
Even if he pushed her aside, she would still rush in because of Yuan Heng.
He had never expected that at a time like this, she would still be able to stay by his side and take care of him all night.
But was Ji Qingwu frightened by the chaos in the palace and wanted to flee somewhere else...
Emperor Wu Su lay in bed for several days, and all his muscles and bones felt uncomfortable.
After he got off the ground, he waved his hand, and Li Yuzong quickly handed him his outer robe.
There was still an important person missing before the meeting. Emperor Wu Su frowned and asked, "Where is Wei Ting?"
Now, all three of them were silent.
Emperor Wu Su looked at one person with a cold and gloomy gaze: "Lu Juan, you answer."
Lu Juan whispered, "General Wei is not in the palace. He is busy with important matters."
Emperor Wu Su asked, "What important matter could Wei Ting have? What is he busy with?"
The emperor was assassinated and his favored general was not guarding the palace. What could be more important than the emperor's safety?
Lu Juan took a deep breath and said quickly, "General Wei is getting married today."
Emperor Wu Su's brows instantly frowned, and his breathing became heavier, as if he had already guessed why Wei Ting suddenly got married.
He slowly turned his head to look at Lu Juan and said gloomily: "Wei Ting chose to get married at this time. He is truly a loyal and capable general to me."
Lu Juan, who was always good at speaking, also stuttered.
"He said, yes, he wanted to give the emperor a good time, maybe the emperor will recover soon."
Why would Wei Ting get married if he were to bring him good luck?
Suddenly, Emperor Wu Su was so angry that he choked and coughed, and bright red blood stains appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Several people's faces changed drastically and they surrounded him.

Wei family.
Ji Qingwu finished his meal and rinsed his mouth with Xuemei's help.
Wei Ting strode towards the purification room in a good mood.
Ji Qingwu sat in front of the dressing mirror and took off the golden crown that was weighing her head down. When she was taking off her hairpins and rings, the sound of bathing water reached her ears.
She sighed worriedly.
Lanzhi hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't know whether she has brought the bottles and jars of medicine powder with her.
Xuemei was tidying up the bed with dried fruits that symbolize "early birth of a baby".
Ji Qingwu turned around and said, "Xuemei, there's no need to do that. You go down first."
"But..." Xuemei hesitated as she looked at the mess on the bed.
Ji Qingwu rubbed his tense forehead and said impatiently: "Don't you understand what I said?"
"Madam, I'm just outside the door. Call me if you need anything." Xuemei walked out with the sundries on the table.
After the door was closed, Ji Qingwu walked to the bed, took a look, then bent down and scattered the dried fruits all over the bed again.
When she had evenly arranged longans, peanuts and other items in every corner, she smelled a fresh and moist scent passing by.
The smell surrounded her from behind, and Ji Qingwu had nowhere to escape.
The warm breath sprayed on her neck, and she felt as if an acupoint was pressed.
"What is the lady doing?"
